My friend has listed his Norwich Poison bottle on Norm Hecklers online auction.

http://www.hecklerauction.com/Auction73/olcatalog/db_paging.asp?page=6&order=

Scroll down to #69 on the list.

Estimated value is $7,000-14,000 dollars.

Not a bad find for digging only a few months.

Not a bad find.

Unfortunately, this isn't worth much. It's a late make bottle, probably 40's or later, depending on the cap's material. But it could have held anything.

I have a Norwich coffin poison bottle in cobalt blue, complete with approx. 1/3 full of original pills. (98% in tact and the skull/crosbones and poison inscriptions readable). It is just like the one listed in the Hall of Fame picture and is without any damage except that the label is a bit faded, but readable. I am trying to find a value for the bottle and some history on it. Can anyone here help me? I posted this on one of your other forums but wasn't sure if it was a good category forum to use. This one seemed a bit more along the lines of my bottle.

Thanks for any help.
